Pastor Joe Story will officiate. A viewing will be 7 to 9 p.m. Wednesday at Prewitt Funeral Home. Burial will be in Scottsdale, Ariz. Mrs. Wahlman died April 6, at the age of 90. She was born Feb. 10, 1912, in Wichita, Kansas, where she grew up. She met and married Edwin Wahlman Nov. 29, 1931, in Phoenix. When her two children finished school, she attended college, graduating from Arizona State University at Tempe. She taught elementary grades and music--which was one of her great joys. She sang in a sextet in Phoenix for many years, and had been church organist and pianist there and in Prescott, Ariz. After the Wahlmans moved to Sitka, she taught at the Seventh-day Adventist Church School, from 1972 to 1974, and in 1977 she served six months as a relief teacher. She was church organist and pianist here, and also taught piano. After living in Arizona and Denver, she returned to Sitka in 1987 to be near her son and his family. She was preceded in death by her husband of 45 years, Edwin Wahlman, and her daughter, Roberta Jean Wilcox, who died at age 38 in Stockton, Calif. She is survived by her son and daughter-in-law, Harold and Judy Wahlman of Sitka; grandsons Duane Wahlman of Sitka, Glen Wahlman of Fortuna, Calif., Alex Wahlman of Washington, D.C., Brian Wilcox of Nashville, Tenn., Craig Wilson of Sonora, Calif., and Gary Wilcox of Grants Pass, Ore. The family requests that in lieu of flowers donations be made to the Sitka Seventh-day Adventist Church School. See Also: Find A Grave |
